The Appeal

SOME GOOD NEWSPAPER STORIES VOL. 17. NO. 27. The calls that an editor receives in the course of a day would astonish some people, both as to their number and their character. I have found that as a rule he would all sorts of people with a great deal of knowledge rarely lose their patience, and I have no doubt at all that every editor has a certain point on his temperamental thermometer at which he is certain to become a friend, and a call from a distinguished profession who was profoundly moved by the fact that in an article of recent date bearing on men of his calling not nearly so much was given to his achievements, and had been so taken of some loss celebrated persons in the press. His pre-eminence was well understood and in the article it was acknowledged, but it was in vain that I declared his position was so secure that more news was given to no longer or avail in his case. The time was when the fact that newspapers dismissed him with a brief acknowledgment of his superiority should be regarded as the alderest praise. He did not look at the in that light. Newspaper notoriety was in that light with so much content as I had supposed would be the case. In fact, it was newspaper notoriety that he was pursuing. Finding him unwilling to acknowledge the possibility that the explanation was the direct one and tiring of his labile eagerness I said: "Professor, how many times have we published long and appreciative notices of your life and work?" He his quick response, and at the same time he drew from his pocket clippings of the indentual articles, now well-thumbed and discolored with age. I took them in my hand, and after riminating a few seconds, I said: "I will give you a vals of a year or two during the period of eight years. They are all very complimentary. I presume they gave you great satisfaction. Yet this is the first time I have heard of the honor of a call from you. In fact, it is the time that we have met. Do you not see something peculiar in that circumstance?" It is creditable to the human race, as I view it, to say that the professor was that he colored vibly, and that he dismissed the subject of his complaint forthwith and swallowed, leaving an expensive umbrella in a chair, recently took it and sent it to his residence. Human Nature in Newspapers. The peculiarity which the professor was invited to consider was this: The average man who may be praised in a newspaper does not acknowledge the compliment and whorty tone, he knows his own goodness better than an editor makes some reference to him his only thought is that at least one journal is capable of appreciating it. He never took a meal or a new garment more as a matter of course than the average man takes honeyed words from a newspaper. Yet if criticism be passed upon him he will be heard from in protest without delay. He becomes fully conscious of this human falling early in life. I am now willing to admit that on more than one occasion I have tried the experiment of praising men repeatedly and then in a single instance (ensuring that I never missed it) to announce the unfulfill after the publication involving criticism. Then they called promptly and brecely. They all were confirmed that the strictures passed upon them were the result of some unaccountable mistake by a manor self-self-education. It enslays in all the modern world. It will not take many to go round. It must not be supposed that I never knew a man to acknowledge a newspaper compliment. I have known of one such case. A gentleman whom I never saw, a reputation was good and of whom some reputation was bad and of whom some reputation was good and of whom some reputation was bad, sent me a basket of handsome roses with an appreciative note. The fragrance of the former and the kindness of the latter filled the editorial atmosphere during a long and busy day, and at 7 p. m. I learned that a gentleman was a candidate or an important man. The writer of a vicious anonymous letter always has been regarded with contempt, but what shall be said of the fussy old lady, familiar to most editors, who is always in a social or a religious fight of some sort, and who must permit her to strike a man weighing 20 pounds over your shoulder? She generally is interested in the home for the care of the careless, and her mind is usually at rest on one point at least—that the Lord sent her on her mission. Now, no one else can attack the fair sex. Be far from me to乞 or to say to evil of any member there. or, out if a rotund old lady in eat and crope, with curls and gold spectacles and a short breath, floccens into your office and follow directors in the afosseo directors in the afosseo villains; that Mrs. Jiggs, the matron, is a wicked old lady, and that between them they are robbing the press and oppressing the scorn that you must show up in your office, your "honor-minded you," your "honor"—not to mention her name, what are you going to do about it? **Country Correspondents.** It is a relief to turn from such as she and take the hard hand and look into the honest face of the country correspondent who is passing through the town so merely called to see you and to talk to you. She is a 200-word telegram that he sent to your paper week before last when the tannery in his town was destroyed by fire. The man himself and his widow used to an abrupt end immediately after he has made the discovery that not very much is going on at the theaters and if there were the free list is suspended. I have known two country correspondents whose memory will be kept green if it is in my power to do it. One of them is the city of 15,000 inhabitants which was abandoned the first morning after the catastrophe nothing but a few meager bulletins announcing its extent appeared in the newspapers. The next day, by much telegram management to induce the correspondent in question to visit the telegraph office in a neighboring town where I had a conversation with him over the wires, and instructed him at length as to the nature of the report that I desired him to telegram, and he had all the facts; that he could write them five columns and that he would begin at once, handing his copy to the telegraph operator as fast as written. Things were a very promising, indeed, but 10 o'clock in the morning the word having been received, I sent him a franck diagrace, and an hour later I received from him a telegraph of forty-seven words, saying that the town had sent him a word 'fond' and that "words failed to describe the situation." He had approached his subject vallantly, but it had vanquished him. The other country correspondent was of a different sort. He lived in a town where they had seven men in jail for murder, and being a leading citizen and know what was going on. On going heceived from him by wire a well-written history of the crimes of the prisoners, with an account of the proceedings of a lynch court that had been held that afternoon in the public square. At the time he was saying: "Hanging takes place later, will have 3,000 + 4,000 words more." True to his word, at 10 p. m. his supplementary dispatch started, and by a 1. a. m. we had seven-column account of the most remarkable manifestation of mob law ever no other newspaper in the Mississippi river, no other newspaper in the New York even so much as a bulletin of the occurrence. In this case the country correspondent was one of the mob, and with his own hands placed the ropes around the necks of three of the culprits. I read an efficient newsgatherer and an able manman. Addressed in Poetry. "Ireasonable, you say. Yes, and filmed, too, perhaps, but despairing men and women in all ages have called aloud, beckoning the time or the place, and helping to create the children's stories come to all of the children of men at one time or another. Some of us may not hear them, even though they be repeated, but he assured me they may be heard. And that some day we will know whether we heard wisely or passed on foolishly. The Young Musician. You may see over my desk a small frame holding the photograph of a boy. The face he has is very beautiful. Faded though it is, I look in it sometimes for inspiration, as I once did info the original. That boy and I became friends in a peculiar way. He was ten years of age, and I was his boy me by letter. His father was dead, so he could barely support him and her other children and he was ambitious to become a musician. Although he had never received a lesson, he could play several instruments. He had heard that there were places where he could play with musical talent could be given instruction free, and his letter to me was to ask me to interest myself in his behalf. I did in a formal way; but as mine was a whole matter soon passed out of mind. A month or two later the lad came to see me with my letter to him in his hands, and with swimming eyes he related how all his visits to the numerous colleges and institutions had resulted in him being great patrons of music and the persons who gave free instruction to the poor were not in when he called. The quick eyes of the lad seemed to read my face and he said frankly that he did not come to pay for his instruction. He thought I should place where free lessons were given to worthy boys. I promised to do that very thing, and the next day *A* persuaded a well-known music teacher to give the boy instruction for one term. Such was upon the frequent, always hopeful, always grateful. Unhappily, the child was not strong, and he did not long survive. A year after I made his acquaintance I stood by his beautiful face. Every feature was of content. The one great disappointment possible in his case had been spared to him. He had gone to rest with little clothes, and that is kind enough to small boys when it thinks of them, but that has too much on its mind to think of them very often. was something, I thought, to have helped him to grow up. Pilgrimage and to have enabled him to pass on from time to eternity with a soul full of faith in the better nature of men. Precept and Practice. Do editors ever practice what they please? In most questions. Editors are great preschoolers. They guide and to instruct everybody. Sure THE APPEAL. Yes, I have known one editor who preciated what he preached, but I may say that it was because he 'got caught at a gambit' wrote an article on the subject of gambit writing, a sensation as a disease and arguing that since the wealthy and humane provided hospitals for the treatment of all other diseases some such arrangement should be made for the care of men who were gambitting. It was purely a speculative essay, and its author never expected to hear from it again, but the next day a man who plainly was in trouble, presented himself at the editor's desk and asked the editor acknowledged the production and immediately perceived that his caller was in tears. In brief, the visitor was an unfortunate clerk, well along in years whose poverty had driven him not long ago, and had lost and lost again and at last he had appropriated money belonging to his employers, hoping to win enough to be able to return in, and had lost every the little things he had a wife and three children, the honesty were exposed, as well as himself, would be involved in ruin. He CANADA J. BULL: "IF SHE ACCEPT CANADA AMERICAN CAPITAL What was left for the editor? He had preached many times. He had often laughed quietly to himself thinking how cheap and easy it was, but here was an uncommonly fine opportunity to practice as well. What was the amount of the money, and easy it was, the dollar. How small that sum looked. The dollar it mechanically upon a sheet of paper that lay on the desk in front of him. Twelve dollars. Small enough to thousands and yet large enough to many thousands more. Twelve dollars. The price of that box of cigars which the man bought, which, still unopened, rested on his desk within the reach of a fellow creature to whom That Sum Was a Fortune. Twelve dollars! Insignificant truly, and yet so large as to measure for one human being all the distance between exposure, arrest, imprisonment, disgrace, torture, death, and home. Had not this editor more than once in finely turned sentences shown others how to dispose of their wealth! Had he not often enough inveighed against the stony hearts of this world, and how to ponder the ponderous breeder the blessings of the nebulosity and the duty of man to marry. Only a week before the interview here described he had hotly denounced a charity which investigated first and acted afterward, the action in this case of the police service to the applicant, who had passed on to that world which mysterious Defective Page enough in most respects, is yet held by us to be an excellent place for poor folks. He had no assurance that his visitor was not an impostor save that which to be found in his plinched and troubled face, in his simplicity and in his tears. Yet here the preacher stood face to face with his congregation and there appeared to be no escape. The man really should not have been permitted to pass the secession and would see to that. He must not be interrupted to frequently and by so many different sorts of people. Once or twice he had his mind made up to dismiss the man. The stern look which he put on his face would say came upon his face. The words were forming on his lips. Yet there was the article written by himself and its concluding sentence: "these unfurtunate are victims of disease and should be regained as such as amuse and amane and say came upon the folded page. It would be easier to hand him $12 and bid him restore the money he had stolen and sin no more. Happily the latter was the prescription which the preacher, now turned docter, had done as they would be done by the man stammering his thanks withdrew, and the editor resuming his labors preached no more for that day. I have known many other cases where editors have done as they would be done by the man stammering his thanks withdrew under my notice in which the editor's printed words were presented to him as the rule of his conduct and in such a way as to make escape therefrom practically impossible. It will be seen, therefore, that a man may preach nothing is easier and nothing is safer. AMERICAN CAPITAL THE RING, THE FIRST THING I KNOW Looking through some our papers not long since I came upon two or three manuscripts which had been left with me years ago by a man whom I esteemed highly, but who was regarded in his day as a man of great intellect. That they were still in my possession was evidence that they had never been published, and I looked them through with interest and profit. How well written they were, and how much they wrote so well, that their words have so much fire, so much eloquence? Sincerity and truth are potential weapons in the hands of even the weak. This man wielded them, and drew his arm as he wrote, and it was a patron. I see it all now. I know not what has become of him. He was an humble worker and thinker. He despised this world's goods, but there was a burn in his heart. He was killed him. At the time when he wrote the people among whom he lived were Not Prepared for the Truth. That which blinded and perplexed them he could look upon with eye undimmed and intelligence unshaken. Every reform, Emerson says, was once a private opinion, and which were advanced and which were too radical for enforcement or publication in days gone by are now heard on every hand and seen in every printed page. We learn slowly, indeed, but that we do learn is established, not by comparing year with year, but by comparing what we see, we cling to the prejudices which but a few years back were regarded as truths. How reluctantly we grasp the new-born truth and through what turnolt do we pass before we are willing to plant our feet upon it and therewith stand the prejudices and the condemn that at last we are on the rock. The cry of Pilate echoes forgery in the haunts of men. What is truth? The question which one generation may seals and seals with blood may be lightly reopened by another and the adjudication reversed at a wine supper. On such and such a state of faith the conclusion that Pilate is the same man is the same. But here comes a man who is in possession of another fact, the introduction of which relates certain venerable truths to thimble of error, uprops all previously formed conclusions and forces new ones upon the mind. Misunderstanding him, suspecting, him, impatient of all disturbance, and perhaps of all wrongness, is wonderful that people treat such a man as a fool or as an enemy and either laugh at him or hang him, as the mood may suggest? More than one state has been shipwrecked upon a truth. More than one state has been forced to pieces when confronted by a fact that could neither be covered nor evaded. My old friend was merely the discoverer of a new fact, but it was a fact that many other alleged facts. He saw a man with a timidity or my inflexibility. He pitied his timidity or my inflexibility, but he never indulged in violent words or in entreaty. I remember now that when he bade me good-by for the last time he appeared to be uncommonly serious, postulated expectation. He had evidently entertained expectation. He had not been realized. He had hoped for admission to a forum to which, as it turned out, truth was not permitted to enter. "Beware," the sage of Concord says, when the great God lets loose a man on the planet. Then all things are at a risk. It is truth's lord over to stand at the door and knock. Let us not barricade ourselves so closely that a visitor so rare and so timid be frightened away. Let us accept a gift. In the case of an editor an accepted gift is a demand note. To doubt that the man in whose favor it is drawn will present it for payment is to doubt the law of cause and effect. My arrival home one evening I was informed that I had been at the house during the after- W SHE'LL BE ACCEPTING HIM." moon and that it had been consigned to the cellar. I inferred that some one had made me a present, as I was not a wine buyer in those days, and I said carelessly that the matter. Being greatly preoccupied at the little time to myself, the wine epilogue, which never made much of an impression on my mind, escaped me entirely, and for more than a year the book was well-dressed and practically forgotten. One day a well-dressed gentleman called upon me at my office and presented a card showing him to be the representative of a company that I had been asked: "How did you like the wine?" Quick as a flash the whole matter came to me. There was the casual remark to a very busy man that a box of wine was in the cellar. There was the resolution that the box should be examined and the failure to do so. There was the mysterious box somewhere in the cellar, forgotten and now recalled to mind a A demand note had been presented. I was perfectly well aware of that. I knew from the attitude of the man and from the manner in which he looked at me that he regarded me as so much property of the man that he was the most convenient way of making a seizure. The confusion of the moment was disagreeable to me, for I was conscious of inclivity in not acknowledging the receipt of my payment, and I was standing during which I hardly felt equal to the task of dealing with my caller, but, regaining my composition, I concluded to await developments. The gentleman began by telling me that his business had been More than landpipes during the patrols of several very extensive firms, and one line of goods in particular he had been very successful with, because he had testimonials from the highest, medical and surgical authorities in the country. The fact of debility, no stimulant was of greater value than the fine old wine of which he was speaking. It was this brand which had been the best in the nodded Continued on 30 Page QUEER THINGS AT CAPE NOME. ABEL WRITEHEAD, the chief assayer at the mint, who has just started for Cape Nome, will finally things to instigate him up there. He will Schrader, the government geologist, newly returned from that region. "For one oddity, he will come across numbers of United States silver coins to coinage to the fact that the pieces of white metal have been utilized in a very peculiar way by the miners. Their customary method of separating gold from the sands of the beeches is to cover the bottom of the coins with silver coins, which is painted with quicksilver. The latter has an affinity for the yellow stuff, seizing every particle that comes in contact with it. Until recently the supply of copper available for this purpose was limited, but the miners adopted the method of using silver coins instead, applying the quicksilver to them. As a substitute they work perfectly, and I know one man who had his rocker bottom tiled with sixty-four large round coins, which, when dispensed with silver coins, is called "When the gold has been caught upon the copper or silver, with the help of the quicksilver, it is separated from the mercury by heating, and this part of the business is accomplished by the miner in a martyring frying pan. The quicksilver, being voluble, passes off and leaves in the pan a chunk of pure gold, having the form of a coin, and is then melted or else like that of a rounded, beady mass composed of grains, flakes and coalesced particles of the precious metal. In this shape the gold is utilized as material in the vicinity of Cape Nome, and the miners are forced to accept it in payment for food supplies and other goods, reckoning it at a value of $16 per ounce. At this rate they make a considerable profit, inasmuch as the which is purer than the average gold of the United States, is really worth $18 or $19 an ounce. "The gold obtained from the beach at Cape Nome is in very fine particles, varying in size from a pinhead to more dust. "Flour gold" the dust is called, "the dust of the coast," on account of the erudence of the apparatus and methods employed for separating it from the sands. Small nuggets, worth about $1.50 apiece, at a maximum, are obtained from the beach gold has been reduced to powder by the incessant grinding of the surf, and because of the same friction it is remarkably bright and pure, resembles fresh water. "On the other hand, the nuggets dug out of the creeks and gulches in that neighborhood are dull, like tarnished brass. These nuggets, as a rule, are of the same size, and are rich in the gravels of the streams which have torn them away from the rocks, and often small bits of quartz are found. It is proved to prove the theory of their derivation. "The coarser gold is confined to the creek and gulch diggings, the nuggets varying in size from a pinhole to several hundred nuggets, weighing twenty and twenty-two worth $200 and $400, were picked up on an Avilreek not long ago, while lumps half an ounce or an ounce in weight are not rare. Much of the gulch gold comes from the creek, although Although the yellow stuff at Cane Nose is all of it derived from rocks not very far away, nobody knows as yet just where it comes from. Quartz veins are hard and in that region on account of the thick moss that covers most of the country. "During century after century the streams have worn away the rocks and carried their debris of gravel and gold deposited in the creeks and glaciers, while some was laid down in the sands along the shore. The bluff that runs along the shore, composed of such debris, and how the water has moved it, cutting it away pleasurable. As the land is eaten away the material is carried seaward by the underwater, leaving the gold works its way downward into the loose sand near the water line, and thus accumulates, be prevented from slinking very deep by a layer of stiff blue water." "The gold-bearing beach area at Cape Nome is a strip of fine gravel and sand 100 to 150 yards wide and extending from the waterline to the bluff. It runs along the shore for at least fifteen miles, and the presumption is that it crops out the sand. It is not easy to be ascertained. The apparatus employed by the miners is simply the familiar hand rocker. Each man selects a patch ten or fifteen feet square and shakes a prospect hole down to the blue clay, which is usually found at a depth of about ten feet. The prospect prosects each layer of sand or gravel by panning it, and, when a pay streak is found, he strips off the overlying stuff and sets to work with his rocker. Sometimes all of the gold will lie directly upon the surface of the clay, while in other cases several inches of the sand above the clay will be rich in the metal. "Most of the miners believe that the gold is thrown up by the waves and constantly renewed—an impression that is not shared by the geological observer. It is not shared by the geologist. The stratum of clay, but occurs in patches. It is obvious that plenty of it exists in part of the beach that is under water, inasmuch as some very profitable results have been obtained by dredging and caught on blankets from which it is collected by removing the blanket from the rocker and rinsing it in a bucket of water. Much of the beach material contains magnets, which is in reality magnetic iron ore, and before long it is possible that large electrified magnets may be employed to separate this stuff from the gold which it contains." - Washington correspondence New York WAYS OF CUBAN TEACHERS Contradictions in Their Make-Up and Methods of Doing Math It takes no gift to perceive that the Cuban teachers now in Cambridge possess characteristics which are strikingly diversified.

Here is a sample of District us: tice (2) from Washington Post: “Fannie Dorsey and Annie Russell colored, were in court yesterday charged with being vagrants. A pe- Ticeman testified that the two young Women were carousing with a party o ‘marines near the Navy Yard Wednes. @ay night, and’ had conducted them. selves badly. Judge Kimball fined them ‘each $5 and sent them ‘to the workhouse for fitteen days in default ‘The policeman sald that Annie Rus soll threw a whisky bottle in the street ‘and broke it, and for this she got fit teen days more.” ‘What became of the marines? _ Why were they not punished? Fifteen days for smashing a whisky bottle isa rather severe punishment, Prof. George W. Cook has been named by the President ag a member ‘of the Board of Charities of the Dis- trict of Columbia. Prof. Cook is a member of the faculty at Howard Uni- versity, and his selection is inthe nature of a reappointment. ‘The board Is composed of five members, of which Mr. S. W. Woodward is president, and has been ‘doing good work among. the needy of the National Capital. Com- missioner Macfarland, president of the board, has had direct charge of the Work. and he has been much pleased with ‘the work of Prof. Cook, who is the only colored member. Tt was upon his recommendation that Prof. Cook was chosen to succeed himself, as ac- cording to the manner in which the members were selected Prot. Cook's term was but fer one year. The other members are to serve, two, three, four, and five years, respectively. The ap- pointee now enters upon a term of five years. . Drs. Sarah Holmes Saturday filed her answer to the bill for divorce pre- sented to the Supreme Court of the District on June 14 last by her hus- band, James Ottoway Holmes, She de- nies his charges of infidelity, and de- clares he’ has been, ‘constantly. asso- ciated with other women, She asks that the suit be dismissed, and also asks for $500 as counsel retainer fees, and alimony in the sum of $200 a month for her support during the pen- dency of the suit. If her husband fails to provide her with a suitable home after final hearing of the cause, she prays that the court compel him to pay her permanent alimony. In her motion for alimony, Mrs. Holmes declares her husband is one of the wealthiest Afro-Americans In the National Capital. He has for a number of years been conducting a sa- loon and restaurant at 333 Virginia avenue southwest. Twenty years ago, she says, when they were married, she was in service, making $2.50 a week. He was also in service, making'$3 per Week. She states that by working side by side, economy, and close attention to business, they have accumulated large sums of money, all of whlch 1s now in the name of her husband. She gets forth that Holmes is now worth $150,000 in real and personal property, and shows that he owns about seven: teen pieces of property to her knowl- edge, from which he receives rentals aggregating $179 per month. She de- clares -his income every month from other sources is from $800 to $1,000.

Left to themselves they seldom realize great profit from thelr work. They offer a golden opportunity to business men, who are not slow to take advantage of it. Two types of men make their iv- ing out of the inventor. One is the speculator, the other the legitimate broker of inventions. There are not 80 many speculators as there used to be twenty years ago. Many made for- tunes out of the simple-minded inven- tors, The most notable eas» was. that of one who bought ten patents from a poor fellow in Washington for $3,000 and in the next ten years cleared near- ly $1,000,000 on them in this country and in. Europe. Brokers have pro- sressed steadily and are now members of a recognized calling. Many of them are thorough meckanies ond good, practical scientists. Such as these are bound to be succasstul. Odkers are merely clever salesmen, who at times ‘make money and at times have theit Iabor for thelr pains. Their calling 1s full of odd and interesting features, ‘They meet inventors of every type, from those who have genlus to those Who are cranks and dreamers. It is among the latter that they find queer inventions, some of which, though in- genious, are not patentable. One of these was a policeman's chib, which, at the end, was perforated so as to form’a red pepper box. A small spring in the handle opened the box and en- abled the wielder of the club to blind his enemy as well as to beat him. A ‘Second spring threw out as radil from the club a number of’ small knife blades, which would eut to pieces the ‘hand of anyone who tried to snatet, the club away. It was refused a pat- ent by the examiners on the ground “ot its cruelty and inhumanity.” An- ‘other non-patentable invention was a lady's fan, In the stick of which was concealed ‘a polsoned dagger. A see- ‘ond class of non-patentable inventions are those which profess to dothe im- Possible. Of those the perpetual mo- tion machine Is most frequently met with. Some inventors devote them: Selves to little things. The man who made the egg beater realized a small fortune.—New York Prat. COMMONPLACE FACTS. eS ey te alte: Tee Think.

J Plerpont Morgan Presents a Lot of ‘Goms to 8 Musoum, ‘The American Museum of Natural History is maiciag preparations to in- Stall one of the largest and most val- uable collections of gems in the world. ‘The new exhibit embraces a magaif- cent collection of precious gems, stones, and pearls of the United States shown at the Paris fair, which there recelved. the grand prize. The entire collection has been purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan and presented to the ‘museum, Thelr value is said to be over $200,000. Notable among the most val- uable gems are four diamonds, the largest being found in Waukesha, Wis, of purest quality, weighing 15" 12-22 of a carat. This is considered a priee- less stone, as it is the largest and best specimen ever found in’ the United States. The other, a diamond of 3 4-16 carats, is from Dane county, Oregon, ‘and two others were extracted from ‘meteorites found in the Canyon Diablo, Arizona, Of the stones which are of the greatest valu produced in the United States the following are in the collection: Turquoise, 20 varleties, all from New Mexico, the largest coming from Las Cerillas, weight 89. carats; ‘a ceremonial necklace of turquoise, ob- tained from the same locality, worn by the San Domingo Indians. | Four- teen specimens of sapphires are shown, 11 from Montana and three from North Carolina, the largest being seventeen and one-fourth carats, found in Yogo guleh, Fergus county, Montana.—chi- cago Journal. a: Weies' ‘Eto a Seen, I held my breath as I watched the gypsy in the Seville dancing hall; I felt myself gwaying unconsciously’ to the rhythm of her body, of ner beckon- ing hands, of the glittering smile that came and went in her eyes.

It is hoped that every chureh, college, benevolent society, and other race organizations. and editors of race newspapers, will be represent- ed. It is the purpose of the officers to make this meeting the largest and /most potent for good cf any whieh the couell has ever held. In recent years Philadelphia has been the storm cen- ter of several important national gath- erings for the discussion ef the race ‘auestion, and the outcome has not al- ways ‘been the most favorable for the Negro. We now have an opportunity to efute “the | erroneous “statement which have been made there, and change the unfavorable sentiment which has been created by some of the enemies of the race who have se- lected the “Quaker City” as the forum from which to. hurl their philipples against a loyal and inoffensive people fon account of thelr color and previous condition of servitude. Again, it is our earnest desire to col- lect sufficient funds at this meeting to pay the remaining expenses of our Louisiana ‘Test Case. We have Just re- elved notice from our chiet counsel, Lawyer A. A. Bimey of Washington, D. C., informing us that the case i progressing satistactorily. (A full re- Dort of this case will be made at the Philadelphia meeting). We have al- ready paid $1,000 for counsel fees, and $500 are now due. One thousand dol- lars more will be needed when the final decision has been rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States. 1 there ever was a time when every Ne- gro church, college, benevolent soctety and other’ race organizations should send representatives, accompanied by the annual tax of Aye dollars, to a great national gathering, now is thal time. ‘The meeting should be so. great {in numbers and influence as to forever fet at rest the oft-repeated statement ‘that the Negro is not interested in his civil and political rights. ‘The basis of membership, as provid ‘ed for’ by the constitution, is: The ‘Atro-Ameriean Council: shall. be com: posed of members as follows: (i) Al ersons who hold life membership.

Benenth This Treo Samuel Chaso Ar- ralgaed King George. ‘The Washington elm is more wide- Ay known than any historic. treo in America, but it must share with the ‘Liberty tree of Annapoli$ the honor of playing a part in rocking the cradle of liberty. ‘The Liberty tree is a tu- Up tree (lirlodendron tulipfera), some- times also called tulip poplar. ‘Tradi- tion says that the people of Annapolis met in the troublous days before the Feyolution to consult together and lis- ten to Samuel Chase in his arraign- mont of King George. At that time its spread of branches was far beyond anything known of it by this genera- tion, It is also a tradition that Wash- ington and Lafayette banqueted in its shade, The earliest tradition handed down to us of the imperial poplar tree that adorns the college campus is that it served as the canopy under which the colonists and Indians made a treaty of peace. As history records only one document of this kind signed here, this treaty must have been the one agreed between. the colonists and the sturdy Susquehannocks in 1852, The next public use of it we find in “Ed- dies’ Letters,” was when the inhabi- tants assembled under it to determine whether or not persons who have not joined the Association of Patriots should be driven out of the colony. In 1825 Gen. Latayette was entertained under it, About 1840 several youths were playing under this tree with that Very dangerous but frequent adjunct of Juvenile sport—gunpowder. ‘They had about two pounds of it, They placed it in the hollow of the tree, where it was ignited and exploded, set- ting fire to the grand old tree. The ‘itizens of Annapolis repaired tn force for its rescue, the firemen bringing out the city fire engine and deluging the tree with water. ‘The boys'escapade was no doubt greatly denounced, but the juveniles had done better ‘than their denunelators thought or the ju- Yeniles intended: ‘The tree had fallen into a state of decay that threatened {ts lite, ‘The next year it put forth tts branches with its youth renewed. The ‘explosion had destroyed the worms that were gnawing away {ts ° vitals, One-third of the trunk 1s gone and is ‘now boarded up.

Dr. Augustus Waller has recently made some interesting experiments which have attracted considerable attention. His endeavor has been to discover a method of demonstrating whether an animal tissue is dead or living, and as a result he has found that by sending a current through such tissue and then connecting it to the poles of a sensitive galvanometer that there will be a back rush of current perceived if the tissue is living, while if not there will be no appreciable effect. Quite late the doctor has been conducting on this principle a series of experiments on eggs the first object of interest in the first instance of life. In general he found that non-incubated, sterile or putrefied eggs failed to give the back rush current, while those containing an embryo in state of development always gave it. With incubated eggs he first removed a small portion of the shell from the upper and lower sides, holding the eggs horizontally, so that the passage of the current, applying the electrodes to the membrane, thus laid bare. At beginning of incubation a small body was formed. After twenty-four hours, and upon back rush the wastestable, and upon beetle development. After forty-eight hours currents in the noticeable plus of 0.0022 volt and—0.0006 to 0.0012 volt. Upon opening, the vascular area was found to be well developed and the heart beat vigorous. He continued his experiments up to twelve days, finding the back rush to constantly increase, with the increase of life in the embryo. In contrasts however, the results were negative, and the eggs wastestable. One of the eggs was found to be sterile and in the other putrid, both, consequently, sustained the proposition. In a number of similar experiments he obtained like results, and also with eggs in a mass like frogs' eggs. One of his most striking experiments was with certain animalcules, which when dried appear to possess no signs of life, but which when exposed to moisture revive. In them the results followed the same order, being negative during the quiescent stage and showing a back rush when exposed to water. One of the tissues rendered insensible by anaesthetics spended in the same way, giving no reaction until the effect of the anaesthetic was removed, when they gave the characteristic electrical reaction.—Philadelphia Times. TEA CULTURE IN AMERICA It Has Passed from the Experimental to the Realization Period. A deal of humor has been expended on the tea gardens and no man was more ridiculed than William G. Le Duc of Minnesota for expressing the belief when he had charge of the old agricultural bureau that American tea drinkers would one day be getting all the tea they want out of American soil. The South Carolina tea culture has been often described, but Mrs. Ellis writes in a more hopeful vein than others. After inaugurating tea culture in 1881 the government gave it up in 1883 on the ground that climatic conditions were unfavorable. Dr. Shepard, a gentleman of culture, then undertook to produce the tea and set up a government with tea seed from Asia. In 1884, C, he has shown that the tea plant can be successfully cultivated in the South Atlantic section of this country and tea made commercially profitable. He has overcome all alleged climatic difficulties and tested all available varieties of tea and soils. Dr. Shepard has seventy-five acres planted to tea and other tea gardens have been opened. It costs 27½ cents a pound to produce the American tea and he sells it (at retail) at $1 a pound. He expects to reduce the cost of production to 14 cents are long. At the wholesale selling price of 50 cents a pound the producer gets a profit of 22½ cents a pound. It is shown that, with some profit per acre is nearly $70, while no more than $200 acre. The prospect of raising tea for home consumption is apparently good. We consume nearly 93,000,000 pounds a year of tea. If we produced a new and profitable industry, employing many thousands of people, would be established. The feat does not seem impossible of accomplishment. NataKs Mimosa Hark An important industry has sprung up in Natal during the last few years in the growing of wattle trees (Acacia mollisima, or mimosa), the bark of which is exported to Great Britain and to the continent for tanning purposes. The trees are planted in close rows so that they grow tall and straight with few branches except near the top; some will attain a height of 10 to 15 meters to soil and climate. The bark is cut cleanly ground and beaten with the back of an ax to loosen and split it. Then it is removed by hand and torn into strips, the latter being twelve feet or more in length. The tree is then cut down, the branches and top lopped off, and the trunk thoroughly barked. The pieces are then cut into ten feet lengths and tied into bundles of about fifty pounds weight and dried. When dry, the strips are again cut up and packed into a box. The export. A good plantation will yield a good amount of per acre, and its present value per acre, and packed is 55 a hundred-weight. In 1895 the value of the export from Natal was £17,200; in 1898 the export had risen to £30,929. Toothpicks Taken from Restaurants "I'd like to know what my customers do with all the toothpicks they carry away," says a restaurant pro. "Few men take a single toothpick. Most of them take half a dozen, do an armful of hole handful, and when they come in be be again for the next meal they take it, man over again. They don't need that. He due to the toothpick chewing habit, which seems to be growing. There isn't anything particularly pleasant about chewing a wooden toothpick, and it may be injurious if a piece of the wood lodges in the throat or gets down into the stomach, as it is very to忙 to do."
